Brittany - The Spice Capitol of France

For hundreds of years, the importation of Spices from Indian and elsewhere in the world, was landed in the Brittany city of L'orient. Then the trade fell off at the beginning of the 20th Century. Today, Brittany is starting to produce many of the worlds best known spices, Saffron, the most expensive spice in the world, is know being harvested in Brittany.
Years ago, a Chemist in Brittany, a M. GOSEE blended several of the worlds best spices into a blend that is very popular with professional chefs, especially in Brittany as it goes well with seafood. It's called Kari Gosse and is found not only in markets, but in Chemist shops. Secret ingredients!!!

When you visit Brittany ( or in Paris at one of the major food halls) buy yourself a jar of it. It's marvelous. Or better yet, visit Brittany and one of the many fabulous seafood restaurants and see how its used to perfection by the local chefs. In Lorient, you must dine at Le Jardin Gourmand and taste the many uses of Kari Gosse.
